Henry Gurney Esq
Dear Sir,
The Committee on Lots have directed me to inform you that this Corporation will accept the trust for the perpetual repair of your lot no. 1014 on Fir Avenue, in its present condition for the sum of four hundred dollars ($400.)
The Superintendent reports that the lot is wanting new grading & sodding. If the Corporation undertake to do this, you will not have to wait until another year, when it can be done.
Very Resp.y yours
Austin J. Coolidge Sec.y
D. W. Cunningham Esq Worcester, Mass.
Dear Sir,
Yours of yesterday inquiring if grave can be opened as late as is before me. I say without doubt -- yes! It would be very unusual for more than two or three inches of frost to get in before that, and often not much till near Christmas. We should not mind a few inches. You must run your own risk of weather.
The point of residence I believe you settled in favor of Boston. If you have occasion to change it, please inform me, as we are rapidly making up the catalogue.
Truly yours

Dear Sir,
I have recd a note from Wm W. Tucker in which he wishes to know for what sum the Corporation will assume the perpetual care of the Lawrence enclosure which embraces:
Lot 489 -- | 625 ft | Bort up | 2500 |
---|---|---|---|
" 490 -- | 625 | Lot 903 | 600 f. |
" 491 -- | 625 | " 1309 | 300 |
" 492 -- | 625 | 3700 f | |
2500 sf |
The Com. on Lots are getting cautious. They have signed the contract to take lot 1014 of Henry Gurney for $400, but Mr Norcross adds in final,-"Does Capt. W. understand that we take it at 400 as it is Brimstone posts & all - Please have Capt W's answer in the affirmative before settlement."
Then on Sophia Coggswell Lot 1142 - They have signed the contract for 300 -- but O.N. add a note -- "The price 300, seems very low, please call attention of Capt. W. to this before you deliver the papers or notify the parties."
I send note from Mr Austin on Cath. Peabody's lot, also note from D.J. Coburn.
Yours truly
